Young People Parents Intervention Project

We were delighted to be successful in obtaining a grant from the National Lottery to deliver the Young People Parents Intervention Project. It started in April 2023 and will continue for three years. The project offers holistic support to young people by reaching out to their parents, carers and guardians and to communities with services, solutions and actions that will improve their life chances, taking into account the disadvantages that they may face.

About Me

Talent is evenly distributed across the communities.
But opportunities are not!

Our training programmes support young people to address inequalities and barriers hindering them from accessing opportunities and achieving their full potential. Drawing on our over 40 years expertise of supporting young people from BAME communities, we consistently update our courses to meet the needs of the changing work environment.

“I offer gratitude every morning for PATRA’s 13-week programme support. I am in a full-time job and pursuing a fully funded degree.
I still cannot believe I joined university and I am studying FREE.”

"Attending the Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities workshop was truly transformative for me and my family. The invaluable insights and practical strategies shared throughout the program empowered us to communicate better, resolve conflicts constructively, and deepen our connections.”

Rebecca Davison

“The facilitators created a safe and supportive environment where we could openly discuss challenges and learn from one another's experiences. Thanks to this workshop, we've grown stronger as a family, and our community benefits from the positive ripple effects of our enhanced relationships. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to build stronger, healthier families and communities."

Rohey Sonko
